Eight Years of Furriness
3 years ago
December 11, 2022 marked my eighth anniversary as a member of the FA community and is pretty close to when I first discovered the fandom. THAT particular date escapes me, not that it really matters. But I always like to take this time as the calendar year winds down to review events of the past year.
By early February, my seventh Long Division book had been in print for about three months. I was beginning to wonder what the future might hold for the series. I'm happy to say that my muse found enough inspiration for me to complete the eighth book, which will soon go to the printer (I hope).
I always like to acknowledge my friends and fans at this time. Whether you faved one of my photos or a story, or if you dropped a comment on one of my posts, I am so grateful. I consider myself very fortunate to have made some great friends here (you know who you are). I look forward to spending more time with you in 2023.
Long Division has blessed me with a huge cast of characters, many of whom have been crying out to be drawn. I added 18 new pieces of art to my Stories & Related Art folder, all drawn by
S00T. For better or worse (and I'd argue better) her style has become forever linked to my stories. More than just an artist for hire, I consider Soot to be a real friend of mine within the fandom along with a terrific group of people who congregate regularly around her online streams.
One more contribution to Stories & Related Art came in the form of a gift from my good friends, Douglas Kim, a.k.a
Kimmykun and
DaiCymru. Douglas adapted the Dinner at Marty's chapter from my first book into a four-page comic. Long Division was originally conceived as a comic by my co-creator, Ruxx. It is so satisfying to finally see a sample of the story in that format.
I can't sign off without shouting out to a few other terrific artists who contributed drawings to my Bucky Art folder:
Eevachu,
NatashaKot,
CoyPowers,
0Matter0, and
Natsu. all produced some really fun drawings of my bear. Go check them out and give these artists some much-deserved love.
Stay healthy. Stay safe. We'll do another review next December.

Thanks for everything that you've brought to the party. ^__^
I first joined FA when I found furry art, and I looked for Furry Art by typing search terms after watching Balto II. I knew I liked animal characters for a while back then, but through FA I found my beast inside XD
Hope you have a great holiday!
